Abstract: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is an ultrasonic wave with an intensity of 30-100 mW/cm2 and a frequency of less than 3 MHz. It is widely involved in regulating physiological functions such as the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, periodontal ligament cells and cementoblasts, ultimately playing the role of accelerating tooth movement and protecting tooth root tissues. This article reviews the progress of research on LIPUS in cell regulation, in order to deepen the understanding of biological functions of LIPUS.
